In Yaroslavl, police are looking for organizers of a rally against garbage

In Yaroslavl, the police are looking for organizers of a rally against garbage, which took place on February 3. This is reported by 7×7 with reference to environmental activist Anna Golovina.

Employees came to the home of two activists who spoke at the rally. The police explained the search by the fact that the number of participants in the event in Hyde Park exceeded one hundred people, which is why the public action had to be coordinated with the authorities.

The head of the legal service of Apology of Protest, in an interview with the publication, suggested that an administrative case was opened against the organizers. However, he noted that there were no metal detectors or police fences in Hyde Park, so the organizers could not limit the number of people who came.

• On February 3, an all-Russian action was held, the participants of which opposed the waste reform, waste incineration plants, solid waste landfills and landfills.

That day, according to OVD-Info, only three people were detained in the Kemerovo region. They did not even have time to take part in the action. One of the detainees was arrested for 12 days.
